    Introduction Quantum Mechanics for the Working Professional.

    Quantum Mechanics for the Working Professionalhttps://pasayten.org/qmwp©2022 The Pasayten Institute cc by-sa-4.0 An Invitation to Quantum Mechanics(see links for associated references) Are you an economist, social scientist, engineer, architect, software developer or even a statistician? Have you seen vectors, matrices or calculus in College? Even if it was years ago? Today the Pasayten Institute is announcing our new, free course: Quantum Mechanics for the Working Professional. This course is your chance to learn Quantum Mechanics in an informal setting, one idea at a time. Why learn quantum mechanics? Unbelievable it as it sounds, Quantum Computing is now available on the cloud. While nascent, standard and thermal quantum computing-as-a service programs are now provided by organizations like Amazon Bracket and D-Wave Systems. This allows individuals and organizations to access quantum computing resources which may well be able to solve previously intractable or laborious problems. What kind of problems?   data encryption optimization problemsand simulating quantum mechanics itself (for use in industrial applications to say, chemistry)Of course, things are still young and Quantum Computing is not indistinguishable from magic. Yet. In February of this year, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Science foundation released a strategic plan to train up the next generation of Americans on Quantum Information Science and Technology or QIST. In K-12 education. In College education. QIST is coming, and its not just for Science Majors anymore. Now is a great time to get familiar with the basic concepts in Quantum Mechanics. If you’re curious and comfortable with learning some mathematics, this course is for you.  If you’re keen on learning quantum mechanics. Welcome aboard! This course will include:  the Basics of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information some applications to Computing, Chemistry, Astronomy and Thermodynamics! Friendly, supporting ideas from algebra, statistics and calculus  Bonus, challenging sections for the more mathematically motivated listeners and Exercises to check your understanding.Each week we’ll drop a couple of episodes, and each episode covers one main idea, with exercises to try! You’ve found our podcast, but we’ll also supplement this with video and written posts too, so you can review and learn in whatever way works best for you. Finally. Why is this free? The Pasayten Institute’s Mission is to build and share physics knowledge without barriers. It’s just what we do. Subscribe to this podcast to learn more! Or check out our website at Pasayten.org.
